A performance by four percussionists from percussion collective Havelok and four dancers from Halte6. Together in 'Glass on Wood'.
The men of the Rotterdam percussion collective Havelok will perform their Glass on Wood program together with four dancers from theater & dance company Halte 6. The show is entirely devoted to the special music of the American composer Philip Glass. As is well known, Glass' repertoire consists mainly of (solo) piano music. Havelok has made arrangements for percussion quartet of Glass' well-known Opening, Metamorphosis and Mad Rush. On stage, no piano, but marimbas, vibraphones, crotales, Thai gongs and steel drums; minimal music on a maximum set of instruments! A sound explosion of familiar music placed in a different perspective and combined with a choreography of modern dance made to measure.
